_________________________

Formula One racing is recreated in detail in this simulation. You have the choice to drive a Ferrari 187/88C, a McLaren MP4/4 or a Williams FW12, each with different qualities. Rival drivers also have their own styles and strengths, and to win the World Championship you will have to master these. Pitstop timing and planning is crucial as well, although only tires are changed in late-1980s F1.

You can choose whether to drive a single race at Brazil, Britain, Monaco, (Western) Germany [Hockenheim], Canada, Italy, Detroit and Japan [Suzuka] or to drive a full championship on every track. Every Race includes a qualifying round. The graphics in the game are sprite-based.

Trivia

If you know that the game's designers are Brad Gour and Don Mattrick, you'll probably realize where A.I. drivers Bruno Gourdo and Don Matrelli got their names from...

Time each pit stop perfectly. Seconds mean the difference between first and fifth place.
Uninhibited speed. Unchained exhilaration. It can only be found on the Grand Prix Circuit.
The best racing teams in the world need a driver. Someone who can tame an aerodynamic chassis with 900 horsepower of raw engine. Someone who's built for speed, but awesome on curves.
Nothing like plunging into tunnel darkness at 180 mph. Special inset screens show your location, lap number, current position and race time. And dual rear view mirrors keep tabs on that Ferrari nipping at your spoiler.
Fight rush hour traffic with the world's fastest commuters. The only stop you can make is in the pits- and it had better be short. Because split seconds the world's best from the also-rans.
